[Verse 1]
D
There’s never a star in this sky
A
Never a boat in this sea
Only the voice of a thousand lies
G D
Choking the truth out of me
D
Until I’ve fallen immune to her lies
A
Or learned to turn a deaf ear to her pleas
I will never begin to be satisfied
G D
She’ll never again let me be
[Verse 2]
A
Don’t let her turn your temperance
G D
Away from the simple and sound
G A D
Or she will damn you darkly down
D A
At the bottom of the bottle it makes no difference
G D
If I keep drinkin’ or drown
G A D
Cause I can’t go much lower than I am right now
[Chorus]
G D
By the time I find my home
A D
I’ll be all scars and broken bones
G D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
G A D
Voice like a freight train’s cold whistle moan
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
No, no I cannot promise nothing
G D
That I cannot know for sure
D
I won’t say never or forever
A
I have told those lies before
D
Please don’t ask me to proclaim my love
G D
That my love for you will grow
G D
That I desire to love you ‘til I die
A D
Ain’t that all you need to know
[Verse 4]
D
But your desires burn like fires
G D
Then they quickly flicker down
G D
And all the while your constant smile
A D
Will never show the fires went out
D
And when they do you won’t come home one night
G D
And you’ll leave me all alone
G D
So don’t tell me of desire my love
A D
Tell me true, you’ll never go
[Chorus]
G D
And by the time I find my home
A D
I’ll be all scars and broken bones
G D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
G A D
Voice like a freight train’s cold whistle moan
[Outro]
G D
Yeah by the time I find my home
A D
I’ll be all scars and broken bones
G D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
G A D
Voice like a freight train’s cold whistle moan
